'Electric Supercar' unveiled by Kalashnikov to challenge Tesla

Kalashnikov, known for its automatic assault rifle, launched
an electric hatchback car at a military expo in Moscow. The car design was inspired
by a rare 1970s model. Russia’s most famous gun-maker now steps into building
an electric car as a competition for TESLA with the new technology.

Development of "revolutionary inverter” adds on to the cutting-edge
elements for the "electric supercar". The vehicle can travel 350
kilometres on one charge, accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in six seconds, and “revolutionary
inverter” convert electricity from direct to alternating current.

Kalashnikov believes they will be able to compete with
Tesla, eventually. “We are talking about competing precisely with Tesla,
because at present it is a successful project in the field of electric vehicles”.
